37Signals Launches Backpack

Tuesday, May. 3 2005 | Author: jeremy

There was a message saying that this was going to go live at 10 am Central Time, but it looks like it has been opened up early.

I just created my account. So far it looks useful. You have a main page for storing To-Do lists, Notes, Files, Images and Links. The system has 4 different account levels. The free version gives you 5 pages and 10 active reminders. Reminders can be sent to you via email or as an SMS message to your cellphone. There are 3 pay plans, ranging from $5 a month to $19 a month, with each plan allowing you to store more pages, reminders, images and files. Image and file storage are not available to the free plan.

Seems like a great concept. I will have to play with it more to evaluate its usefuleness for me, but you may find it to be a great organization tool.

You’re a quick one. I just got the email and thought I’d check to see if anything was up here, and sure enough.

I think they’re taking a traffic hit as I couldn’t get to the sign up page.

They actually took it live about an hour ago…maybe more. I looked around 6:15 (central) this morning and it was not up. I got to work about 8:15 and it was live.

I think they probably launched early to help distribute the load. All the early birds would get their worm, while a big chunk of potential signups wouldn’t pound the server until later in the morning.

I got an early Golden Ticket to sign up on Saturday. I’ve been palying with it for a few days and It’s a pretty cool app. It really has been thought out well.

If I wasn’t out of school already (last exam was yesterday, w00t!), this woulda been a great tool for organizing all the assignments… Maybe next semester. :) Thanks for the link.
